Interview........
23-02-2016
I have a question for people on this thread. My wife/fiancée has an interview next week. Legally we are married with Katb Ktab but we did not have our wedding yet and culturally still considered engaged (we are having the wedding this summer). Do visa officers in Beirut care about this cultural meaning and in which hand we wear the rings? Or is the legal marriage what they look at?

We got an interview not a visa.

Yes, we submitted a family civil register. I understand that we are legally married. I was just wondering about the terminology to use in the interview (e.g. husband vs fiancée, married vs engaged, etc).

paltajian -- I don't understand... Did you have the status on your eCAS changed without them contacting you at all ?!!

No passport request and no interview !

When did you apply? And when did you get sponsorship approval ?!

I have a question they are requesting police certificate update and a few forms to be sent to the embassy in Jal El Dib - Beirut, they are asking it to be mailed, do you think there is a problem with taking the documents in person or does it HAVE TO BE through the mail?
